New Jersey; Marshall from Rhode 

 Island; Elliott and Waban Rose Con- 

 servatories from Massachusetts. As 

 will be seen in the award list append- 

 ed, the Pennsylvanians gathered in 

 about everything in the Beauty prizes 

 in the show; they constituted an ex- 

 hibition in themselves. On Bride and 

 Bridesmaids in the different classes 

 there were no less than forty entries, 

 every bloom a special. The competi- 

 tion in the silver cup and other special 

 prize classes was much greater than 

 in the regular cash classes. Of thirty- 

 three specials, twenty-eight were com- 

 peted for, there being six and seven 

 entries in several cases. 



For the first time in many years the 

 retail florists were given an oppor- 

 tunity to show their handiwork in 

 mantel and table decoration. Hough- 

 ton & Clark won the cup in both in- 

 stances. Their mantel decoration was 

 of Wellesley roses, Farleyense and 

 Piersoni ferns. Their table was 

 adorned with Killarney roses in cen- 

 ter-piece and corsages. Other mantels 

 were done in Bridesmaids and smilax 

 by The Rosary, Richmond and Crim- 

 son Rambler by MacMulkin, Rich- 

 mond, Safrano and Asparagus Spren- 

 geri by Hoffman, Liberty and Brides- 

 maid by Penn. 



Among the new things in cut bloom 

 were John Cook's Enchanter, shown 

 by Robert Simpson; Queen Beatrice, 

 shown by F. H. Kramer; Tom Field, 

 shown by George Field; and Miss Kate 

 Moulton, shown by the Minneapolis 

 Floral Company. The latter was the 

 only exhibit from west of Utica, N. Y. 

 We hope this solitary evidence of en- 

 terprise on the part of our western 

 friends may receive adequate reward. 

 and have no doubt it will, as the 

 charmer from far off Minnesota 

 showed up well and demonstrated 

 keeping qualities such as few roses 

 are possessed of. 



The pot roses shown for the $100 cup 

 were very fine. The winning group 

 from Thomas Roland, Nahant, occu- 

 pied the stage and added very much 

 to the general appearance of the hall. 

 The competing group from H. C. Stein- 

 hoff, West Hoboken, N. J., was also 

 superb and, considering the long dis- 

 tance they came, the blooms were in 

 remarkably fine condition. There be- 

 ing no second prizes in the special 

 premium classes, the following named 

 exhibitors in this department not win- 

 ners, should be mentioned: Francis 

 Skinner. Benj. Dorrance. John Mar- 

 shall, Brant Bros., Elwood Brant, 

 John H. Taylor, Floral Exchange,

 Totty, Joseph Heacock, Briarcliff

 its were all exceptionally fine. Fol- 

 lowing is the list of awards:
